Here are just some of the highlights from June to October.
🎶 A Summer Evening of Renaissance Music
In July, we were delighted to welcome the Liverpool Renaissance Singers to St Cuthbert’s for their concert, O Taste and See. It was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy beautiful choral music spanning the golden age of polyphony, in the special surroundings of our historic church.
🍓 Strawberry Tea and Summer Fellowship
Our Strawberry Tea brought the opportunity to enjoy a lovely summer afternoon in the church garden. With refreshments, a raffle, tombola, fun and games, it was a chance for friends, families and neighbours to come together and enjoy one another's company while supporting our church.
⛪ A New Path for Everyone
One particularly special milestone was the opening and blessing of our wonderful new church path. This important improvement means that St Cuthbert’s is now more easily accessible to everyone.
We were very grateful to Bishop Ruth for joining us to bless the path and for her thoughtful reflections on the symbolism of the journey through life with Jesus as our guide and strength.
Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who helped make this project possible.
🎉 A Fun Evening of Bingo
September saw a wonderful Bingo Night take place at Halsall School Hall, bringing people together for an enjoyable evening of fun, laughter and fellowship.
It was lovely to see people joining in, enjoying the excitement of the games and supporting St Cuthbert’s at the same time. Thank you to everyone who came along, helped organise the evening and supported our church. Your generosity and enthusiasm are very much appreciated!
🌾 Halsall Harvest Weekend – Farming Through the Ages
October brought one of the highlights of our community calendar: Halsall Harvest Weekend, with the theme Farming Through the Ages.
Held at St Cuthbert’s Church and Halsall School, the weekend celebrated our farming heritage, our local community and the blessings of Harvest.
There was plenty to see and enjoy, including:
🚜 Displays of historic farming photographs, tractors, machinery and museum pieces.
🥕 A local produce sale.
🎨 Children's activities.
🔔 Bell ringing and belfry tours.
🥪 Lunch bags and refreshments.
🍲 A special Harvest Hotpot Supper, with quiz, raffle and entertainment.
🎵 Harvest Songs of Praise on Sunday afternoon.
The weekend gave us a wonderful opportunity to remember and give thanks for the food we enjoy, the land around us and, in particular, our local farmers, whose dedication and hard work help provide for us all.
It was also a celebration of the generations who have shaped Halsall's farming heritage and the importance of bringing our community together.
🙏 Thank You
All these activities reflect what makes St Cuthbert’s such a special place: a church at the heart of its community, where faith, friendship, history and fellowship come together.
We are enormously grateful to everyone who has volunteered, organised events, contributed their time and talents, supported our fundraising and joined us along the way.
Above all, we give thanks to God for the opportunities we have to share His love, welcome others and serve our wonderful community.
As we look towards the months ahead, we hope to continue building on these happy memories and welcoming everyone to share in the life of St Cuthbert’s.
💜 Everyone is welcome at St Cuthbert’s – we look forward to seeing you! ✝️
